Each one will be as if encaged in the Venus sphere. There can be no question of a Monistic Union because by virtue of the monistic conception each member is condemned to loneliness. The fact that each is locked in his cage has not been thought out. It is mentioned so that souls may be brought to an awareness of reality as compared to the fanciful theories of monism that have been elaborated on earth. In general we can say that we come together with those of the same world-conception, of the same faith as ourselves. Other confessions are hard to understand in the Venus sphere.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"7.

In dieser Venus-Sphäre werden wir Einsiedler, wenn wir hier unreligiös gestimmt waren. Gesellige Wesen werden wir durch religiöse Stimmung, die wir mitbringen. Je nachdem wir in der Lage waren zu fühlen hier in der physischen Welt unsere Hingabe an den heiligen Geist, finden wir alle diejenigen, die die gleiche Stimmung dem Geist-Göttlichen gegenüber haben. In dieser Venus-Sphäre sind die Menschen gruppiert nach Religionsund Weltanschauungs-Verhältnissen. Hier auf Erden ist es noch so, daß sowohl religiöses Streben als auch religiöses Erleben den Ausschlag geben. In der Venus-Sphäre ist die Gruppierung lediglich nach Religions- und Weltanschauungs-Bekenntnissen. Diejenigen, welche die gleiche Weltanschauung haben, sind in großen, mächtigen Gemeinden in der Venus-Sphäre; sie sind nicht Einsiedler. Einsiedler sind diejenigen, die gar keine religiösen Empfindungen und Impulse entwickeln können. Also diejenigen, die wir in unserer Zeit Monisten, Materialisten nennen, werden nicht zu geselligen, sondern zu einsamen Wesen werden; jeder wird wie in einem eigenen Käfige die Zeit in der Venus-Sphäre zubringen, und ein Monistenbund ist in dieser Sphäre ganz unmöglich, weil durch das, was das monistische Glaubensbekenntnis ist, der Mensch zur Einsamkeit verurteilt wird. Das ist eine Tatsache, nicht etwa nur Ausgedachtes, daß jeder in einen eigenen Käfig gesperrt ist. Das ist dazu da, um die Seele zu erziehen für die Wirklichkeit gegenüber der Phantasterei des Monismus, die sie sich hier angeeignet hat. Im ganzen kann man sagen: Zusammenkommen kann man mit denjenigen, die mit uns gleicher Weltanschauung, gleichen Glaubens sind. Schwer verständlich sind uns andere Bekenntnisse in der Venus-Sphäre.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":258,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/140/1912-12-15/p022"}],"english":["GA 140/1912-12-15/p025","GA 140/1912-12-15/p026"],"method":"length","confidence":"high","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":258,"en_words":275,"ratio":1.07,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"proposed","verified":false},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":0.91,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":6616,"original_word_count":7271,"may_be_abridged":false},"witness_quality":{"translator":{"scope":"unit","status":"recorded","translator":"René M.
